Reducing N losses (NH3, N2o, N2) and immobilization from slurry through optimized application techniques

In model, pot and field trials the effect of C reduced slurries and different application techniques on N losses and N immobilization were investigated. The C reduced slurries were produced by mechanical separation. Ammonia losses from surface-applied and injected cattle slurry were measured under field conditions using a wind tunnel system. Injection of slurry was the most efficient way to reduce volatilization of ammonia. After 6 days the total loss from the injected slurry was only 9% of that from surface band application. Furthermore, additional losses of N may occur through denitrification, specially after injection of slurry which may create an anaerobic environment abundant in readily oxidizable C. Therefore denitrification measurements by the acetylene inhibition technique were conducted. Until 100 days after application the loss from the injected slurry was 7.3 kg compared to 4.5 kg N ha^–1 from surface band applied slurry. After injection, denitrification was only 4.1 kg N ha^–1 for C reduced compared to 6.5 kg N ha^–1 for normal slurry. In pot trials the ammonium-¹⁵N of normal slurry and C-reduced slurry was utilized by oats between 52 and 60%, the ammonium sulfate by 67%. The increased biomass C confirmed a greater immobilization of the NH₄-N of the normal slurry resulting in a lower initial efficiency.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. A. Amberger on his 75th birthday

Effect of Residual Surface Stress on the Strenght Distribution of Brittle Materials

The introduction of residual surface stresses into a material can change the strength distribution simply due to variability in the stress intensity factor of surface cracks. This variability arises from the distribution in surface (critical) crack lengths. A fracture mechanics approach was used to determine the influence of surface compression on the average strength and the standard deviation of the strength distribution. The strengths of the stress-free samples were assumed to fit a twoparameter Weibull distribution, and the increases in strength resulting from the surface compression were determined using fracture mechanics. It was determined from the analysis that the standard deviation/average strength ratio (coefficient of variation) initially increases, passes through a maximum, and ultimately reaches a plateau value below the initial value, as one increases the depth of surface compression. The maximum increase in the strength scatter occurs when the depth of the surface compression is approximately equal to the characteristic crack size. These changes were found to be dependent on the magnitude of the surface stress, as well as the characteristic strength, Weibull modulus, and fracture toughness of the stress-free material.     

Fluorinated acrylic polymers: Surface properties and XPS investigations

A series of polymers based on methylmethacrylate, butylacrylate, and ω‐perfluorooctylalkylacrylate were prepared by radical polymerization. By changing both the length of the hydrocarbon spacer, between the fluorinated chain and the ester function of the fluorinated monomer, and its concentration, the surface properties of the resulting terpolymers were greatly influenced. Polymers containing small amounts of fluorinated comonomer units had considerably reduced surface energies compared to the copolymer poly (methylmethacrylate‐co‐butylacrylate) taken as reference. The outermost surface composition has been investigated by the XPS technique, confirming the strong fluorine enrichment. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 821–827, 2006     

Interphases in the Adhesive Bonding of Fluoropolymers

Strong and durable adhesive bonds may be made between polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and either cyanoacrylate (CA) or epoxy adhesives, if the PTFE surface is modified by the use of a “primer” such as triphenylphosphine (TPP) or diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM). The primer mixes with the PTFE surface, and the modified surface is then capable of forming an interphase, tens to hundreds of nanometers thick, where interpenetration of the adhesive and adherend occurs. Using CA adhesives, PTFE/CA/PTFE block compression shear bond strength (ASTM D4501-85) of over 10 MPa can be achieved, with failure occurring cohesively. Initial work with epoxy adhesives indicates that the use of DDM primer gives adhesive bonds comparable in strength with those produced by modification of the fluoropolymer surface by sodium naphthalenide.     

石油勘探电磁层析成像在复杂岩层的应用仿真

对石油岩层进行勘探时,是通过电磁波形成稳定图像,对石油岩层进行勘探.由于石油区域的岩层结构密集和稀松部分分布不均匀,电磁层析成像在分布不均匀的岩石结构中,电磁波回波过程发生不定衰减,导致电磁析图像发生局部变异.传统的石油勘探电磁层析成像技术在图像局部变异下,会严重影响后期的成像效果,成像信息失真明显.提出采用加权小波分析的石油勘探中电磁层析成像复杂结构声波过滤方法.用非线性方程描述所有的石油勘探中电磁层析成像结构声波,选取一组成像信号作为样本数据,计算成像信号的权重,获取所有成像信号在声波过滤过程中的重要程度.针对上述结果进行小波变换处理,完成成像信号的分解,将所有的因子进行重构,实现声波过滤.实验结果表明,利用改进算法进行石油勘探中电磁层析成像复杂结构声波过滤,能够极大的提高过滤准确性,得到清晰的成像信号.     

Interactions of Impact Shock Waves in a Thin-Walled Explosive Container. II. Impact by a Cone-Nosed Projectile

Interaction of impact shock waves that could detonate an explosive (Composition B) confined in a thin-walled container impacted by a cone-nosed projectile is numerically studied, based on the Forest Fire explosive reaction rate model. The normal impact on the container by a small projectile with a conical nose is considered. Depending on the cone angle of the nose part of the projectile, the zone of interaction of initiating shock waves can be remote from the central axis of the impact. The off-the-central-axis detonation is interpreted from the viewpoint of different interaction modes in the explosive container, which are reflected from the cassette wall, change their directions, and superimpose onto each other, leading to explosive detonation.

Root growth and phosphorus and potassium uptake by two corn genotypes in the field

In a field study P and K uptake by two corn (Zea mays L.) genotypes which differed in root growth was investigated. The effect of differences in root growth on P and K uptake was assessed using a mechanistic-mathematical model which describes nutrient uptake by growing plant roots in soil. Nitrogen was applied at 0 and 227 kg ha^–1 to Pioneer 3732 and B73xMo17 corn grown on Raub silt loam (fine-silty, mixed, mesic Aquic Argiudoll) and at 227 kg N ha^–1 to these two genotypes on Chalmers silt loam (finesilty, mixed, mesic, Typic Haplaquoll). Root growth and P and K uptake by the two corn genotypes was measured 31, 47, 75 and 91 d after planting on the Raub and 31, 47, 61 and 75 d after planting on the Chalmers soil.Root growth and P and K uptake by B73xMo17 was greater than that of Pioneer 3732 on N-fertilized Raub soil. On Chalmers soil the difference in root growth between the two genotypes resulted in an increase in K but not P uptake. The higher soil P level of the Chalmers appears to have offset possible differences in P uptake due to root size. There were no differences between the two genotypes in either the percentage of roots with root hairs, or the density or length of root hairs. Phosphorus and K uptake calculated with the simulation models for both corn genotypes on both soils over each of three growth periods agreed with observed P (Y = 0.68X + 1.71; r = 0.944^**) and K (Y = 0.88X + 15.52; r = 0.928^**) uptake. Differences in P and K uptake between B73xMo17 and Pioneer 3732 resulted primarily from the difference in root growth in the topsoil. A high correlation was found between root surface area and P (r = 0.893^**) and K (r = 0.928^**) uptake by both corn genotypes on both the soils.Journal paper No. 10,316 Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp.
